The Fresh AR Fund.

The Chicago Daily Ne,os is doing a
great work in raising a fund with which
to provide the poor children of that city
an opportunity to breathe the fresh air
of the lake at Mrs. Schoeneman's ssni>
tarium and elsewhere. The amount 50
far raised is 81, 1923 Al, and this sum has
been expended in the most economical
maDuer in caring for the babies of those
people of the great city who are unable
to give them proper attention themselves.
Such great charity as this cannot be
entirely local in its appeal to those who
are able to aid it. and we notice many
contributions from cities throughout the
west, but not one from Rock Island
This is probably because the matter ha
not been brought before our people, and
THE ARGUS is glad to give its space to
aid such worthy object. Contributions
of any amount may be sent to the Daily
Meas, Chicago, and proper credit will be
given,
Even with the pure air we have here
many little ones have died this summer,
and many a mother is snxiously watch>
ing over the babies who have not vet
reached the end of earth: but whose frail
lives are trembling in the balance They,
perhaps, can feel more deeply than any
one else for the unhappy mothers of Chi
cagO who are unatle to give their own
little ones one breath Of that pure ozone
laden air, of which there is plenty, but
of which not a trace ever enters the hot
and sitting rooms of the poor in a great
city.
In supplement to the Neaos devoted to
this subject we find the following tender
little poem, by Eugene Field, which may
be solace to NJ any an aching heart in
this city:
My baby slept-how calm his rest
As DER his handsome face a smile
Like that Of angel fitted while
He tag so still upon my breast.
My baby slept-his baby head
Lay all unkissed meath pail and shr nd
did not weep or cry aloud
only wished |, too. were dead.
NV baby sleeps-a tiny mound.
All covered by the little flowers.
Woo me in all my walking hours
Down in the quiet burying ground.
And when l sleep seem to be
" it'll baby in another land
take his little baby hand
He smiles and sings sweet songs TO me.
Sleep on, o baby while keep
MY vigls till this Day be past;
Their shall too, lie down at last
And with my baby darling sleep.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. l2.-The presence of

neighborhood of Kings cattle yard, where
Texas cattle are unloaded both for home
killing and for transhipment Six of the an
imals have died since Monday, but the stock
men succeeded in keeping the fact secret.
Meanwhile the diseased and exposed animals
have been slaughtered and the infected meat
sold in the market Twenty five diseased
animals have been slaughtered in the last
two days The city meat inspector has in
stituted rigorous police patrol of that part
of the city, and the United States and state

The creditors of Miss G. L. Patterson,
the ieweler, are still unable to agree as to
the disposition of the stock, there being
a dispute as to certain formalities of the
mortgage. Last evening it was decided
that no conclusion could be reached
whereby Miss Patterson could resume
business, and the lady therefore took
posse ssion of $400 of the stock under the
existing exemption laws. The liabilities
will probably have to be settled IN the
courts

OREGON AND CALIFORNIA RAILRoAD.-The
false work of the Klamath river railroad
bridge is all up, and portion of the iron
bridge has arrived from the East, with the
remainder en- route. 1t will probably take
ten days to place the iron bridge in position
so as to remove the false work, as it is quite
an extensive work to bridge span of 260
feet. Passenger trains are not likely to be
run further north than Montague until the
track is completed to Henley, as there are
no accommodations this side of that place.
A station is to be established at Ayers or the
old Hi Richardson place, north of Cooley's,
where Ager intends putting up fine
hotel. He gave the company some twenty
acres for station, where side-traeks and a
depot will be erected We learn that prep
arations are in progress for commencing
work on the Oregon end, and that large
number of men are congregating there for
that purpose Yreka Journal, April 9Th.

ished the world. 1t is without doubt the
safest ard best remedy ever discovered fol-
the speedy and effectual cure of Coughs
Co DIS and the severest Lung troubles Ii
acts on an entirely different principle from
the usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does NOT dry up Cough and leave the
disease still in the system, but on the con-
trary removes the cause ef the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle kept
in the house for use when the diseases
make their appearance, will save doctor
bills and long spell of serious illness.

on a small interest, and be said that they
conspired to freeze him out. He laid has
loss at the door of Kissane's brother, and
knowing that William Kissane Rodgers
was vulnerable, went to him for satisfac-
ton and threatened arrest on the old in
dictment unless his demands were complied
with Kissane, knowing that the old indict-
ment was hanging over his head, feared
that Darr would put his threat into
execution, and knowing also that banks
never forgot and never forgive, he sent j..
b. Hart, the LAWYER on to New York to get
the "a year-old indictment quashed. As
soon as Hart got there he found that DaFT
had stirred up the officers of the Chemical
Bank to demand restitution for all the
forgeries of Findley and Cole, and TO press
the execution of the Indictment. Kissane' s
lawyer would not listen to this, and pointed
out the fact that no jury would ever con-
Wet reformed man of a 34-year-old Of
Tense, even if the bank had any evidence
against Kissane. The power behind the
| prosecution then called the attention of the
newspaper men of New York to the old
crime and its new developments. The
story was good one. 1t was written up
with a hungry attention to details, and IN
| the usual course OF business telegrapheo
| to San Francisco and published in all the
| papers here. But Kissane's identity wa:
! concealed
